IDDBA Show 2027

A North American dairy, deli and bakery exposition, offering product showcases, education sessions, and networking.

IDDBA 2027

The International Dairy Deli Bakery Association's annual show runs 6–8 June 2027 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Three departments, one show

IDDBA serves the dairy, deli and bakery departments of food retail — the perimeter of the supermarket. That focus is unusually tight for a food show, and it is why the attendee base is so specifically operational: department managers and category buyers rather than general grocery executives.

It is a sampling show

The floor is built around tasting. Product decisions in these categories are made on the product itself, and the exhibition reflects that more than most food trade shows do.

The show rotates cities

IDDBA moves between host cities each year, so a previous year's location is no guide to the next. 2027 is Atlanta.
